OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by CDanielleR on April 19, 2011 at 12:00pm: My stomach is doing flips! I am so nervous. I think my bf said he was taking his float test yesterday but I didn't hear from him. So I am so nervous to know did he pass yesterday? Did he do battlestations last night? I am on pins and needles and its making me crazy. I just wish I knew something! I still haven't changed any of my plans to go to PIR on Friday, because I believe he will pass in time.

Comment by Megs-Sailor Wife on April 19, 2011 at 10:16am: All I keep thinking about is these possible phone calls!!! Lol....I need to start doing something this morning cuz with me constantly thinking about the phone calls it is making my morning go by SO SLOW!!! :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 19, 2011 at 9:28am: It is possible that your recruit could have had watch and wasn't able to make the call. Sometimes they try to call and if they don't reach anyone or can't get through they will call someone else like girlfriend or other family members. Sometimes there are just so many trying to make that call that they can't get to a phone. Hopefully you will get a call today.
